Over 60 percent of Indians feel that exercise is the top factor for maintaining health and well-being more than sleep. There is a need for good sleep for better health.

‘There is a need to raise awareness about sleep health, as it is essential for health and well-being of every individual.’

According to another 32 percent, technology is a major sleep distractor. 




While 45 percent adults have tried mediation to initiate and maintain good sleep, 24 percent reported having tried specialised bedding.
"Sleep disorder is a much more serious issue than what most people understand, especially given their direct correlation with other serious conditions like cardiovascular disease, diabetes, stroke etc," Harish R, Head (Sleep and Respiratory Care) at Philips, said in a statement.
"In a country where snoring is traditionally associated with sound sleep, it is extremely challenging to make people aware that it is a sign of a serious sleep disorder," he added.
The findings will provide directions to raise awareness and innovate interventions to ensure an important but oft-neglected aspect of health and wellbeing: sleep health.
